You know you're a home brewer when?

[Krazykripple]

i was watching one of Heston Blumenthal's tv shows the other day and he was trying to make a giant teabag. all i could think was "why doesnt he use voile?"

In Soviet Russia, beer brews you at home.

I still make Yakov Smirnoff jokes. I'm also the only one that laughs at them. such a shame...

You and me both.

It also says a lot about a person, their choices. Their hobbies, their likes and dislikes all affect one's relationship. So being choosy to find a person you are compatible with is worse how than all the people here who have second bank accounts, and or only order new equipment when their wife isn't around because they are spending thousands on gear and can't tell her?

Personally I'd rather be able to share my passions and my hobbies with my wife, and I can. Because I weeded out all the ones that weren't compatible with my lifestyle.

I think she's on the path to happiness personally but what do I know.

Bleme said it better then I was going to.

I agree. My wife is the complete opposite of me in so many ways. We don't have to be clones. We can complement each other. Yin and Yang.

She's also not a big beer fan. She is very supportive of the hobby and helps me brew and bottle. She tastes everything I make but rarely drinks a whole one. It's nice to always have a designated driver though.

When you find a single hop pellet while sweeping the living room . At first I couldn't figure out why it was inside , but then realized I did dry hop a beer about 3 weeks ago.

When your school books are filled with recipes instead of notes

When your insulated lunch bag smells like hops from serving double duty as a hops and yeast transport cooler.

When you tell all your buddies to save their bottles.

When you tell all your buddies to save their bottles.

When you don't tell them to save bottles for you, but they do anyway.

When you don't tell them to save bottles for you, but they do anyway.

I have a buddy who randomly hits me up with a sack of em to take off his hands. He's like the bottle fairy.

 

[bleme]

When you don't tell them to save bottles for you, but they do anyway.

My boss has given me over 50 Grolsch bottles, 14 food grade buckets with lids, and hooked me up with the owner of a sushi restaurant for more bombers than I want to clean.

I think he likes my beer.....

When everytime you hear the coffee pot gurgling you automatically assume it's the fermentor. Even when you know the fermentation is over and the beer has been racked over.

[TheJasonT]

When you wake up at 2am to outfit your imperial stout with a blowoff tube, then allow the sound of the rhythmic gurgling of it through the chest freezer to put you back to sleep.

Also when your fermentation fridge looks like this:





And you're already scheduling brew days to refill those fermenters when they empty.

caption: Yeah, this set up is ok I guess. But a serious home brewer just needs something bigger, IMO.

[Schmoogdaddy]

You see the Budweiser commercial that asks, "Do you know where your beer was brewed?" and you answer with a resounding, "Yes!!!".

 

[unionrdr]

They say that in the commercial,& you say "not by you mutha****a"...
